Thanks I have also bought some of the house breaking books...Trust me I really have tried it to the point of keeping her on the leash if not in her crate when she is in the house. And that is a real pain...I dont think she was stressed about going to the trainers house as she did learn and was very obident with her manners. The issue in my opinion was that yes she was doing geat training but it was not realistic b-c she didnt have in loose in her house and doing the give her more space and keeping it clean. She was in her crate and on a strict schedule. The schedule is a good thing however I am not at all convinced it will get her potty trained just putting her in and out and taking her out every time she comes out. If that was it then she would surely have been trained 6 mo. ago. I really dont want to do pads as in my past experience with Chi it only leads to them having the same feeling on carpet. That isnt a road I want to go down again especially when sometimes you cant even tell they have peed on the carpet until it starts to smell and you have to then find out where...I actually replaced an entire room of carpet, costing me $1k, b-c of my Chi....
Thanks for your thoughts...at this point I am praying alot for little Chloe
